Wicked
Funnily enough they forgot to put Part 1 on the posters and trailers however this tells the story of how the Wicked Witch came to be. From when she was born, going to Boarding School and eventually meeting The Wizard. She also encounters being treated differently and a story involving Animals being discriminated against.
I don't know anything about the Musical so I was going in relatively cold regarding knowing what happens and to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Granted it's rather long but that's the course these days.
Bloodsport
I got the Blu-Ray in the Amazon Sale and I watched the Audio Commentary involving a Fan of the film, Sheldon Lettich and the Actor who played Paco. It was informative as they made the point that this was actually a well constructed film as well as pointing out that Chong Li killed his first opponent (I didn't realize at the time because the Officials didn't turn their backs like they did after the Semi-Final) and that there was a scene cut out when Pumula ripped off the nose of his opponent (There was a quick cut).
Still a brilliant movie, definitely one of my all time faves. made me a huge fan of Jean Claude-Van Damme where renting each Film was essential as soon as it was possible (Well up to Maximum Risk) and that the side characters like the Referee, the Cleaner and the Officials were entertaining as well.
Ticks
Teenagers on a Camping Retreat get attacked by giant Ticks and local Cannabis Growers. Nothing really new about this Film, nothing that's never been seen before but the gore was ok (For a Film from 1993) it's one of those Films that if you watch it, you'd probably like it but if you don't see it, then you are not missing out.
As mentioned in another thread, I prefer the VHS Rental Cover.
